Eat Like a Girl: 100+ Delicious Recipes to Balance Hormones, Boost Energy, and Burn Fat

Discover how to harness the power of food to support your body's natural rhythms, empowering you to heal and thrive in this cookbook based on the revolutionary international bestseller, Fast Like a Girl.

When Fast Like a Girl was published it became more than a book that helped women to take back their health through a fasting lifestyle - it became a movement unto itself. Thousands of women around the world rejoiced as their menstrual cycles returned, fertility was reignited, and stubborn weight they'd been struggling with for years finally disappeared.

In Eat Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy shares her "food as medicine" approach with 100+ recipes--plant-based and omnivore--that amplify the life-changing principles of eating and fasting in harmony with your menstrual cycle.

Part I: The Failure of Food for Your Hormones lays the foundation by highlighting how modern diets often disrupt hormonal balance. Through insightful chapters and practical textboxes, such as "The Hormonal Hierarchy" and "Foods That Destroy Your Microbiome," you'll understand the pivotal role food plays in hormonal health.

Part II: Using Food to Support Your Fasting Lifestyle teaches how to create effective fasting and eating windows that cater specifically to your body's needs. Dr. Mindy discusses what to consume during fasting to maintain your metabolic state and how to break your fast with nourishing choices that stabilize blood sugar and support muscle function.

Part III: The Fasting Cycle introduces a novel concept that divides the menstrual cycle into phases, each with specific dietary recommendations to enhance hormonal production and detoxification. This part is especially crucial for women in their reproductive years or those experiencing irregular cycles.

Part IV: Recipes includes recipes that are designed with versatility in mind, offering options for both plant-based and omnivore diets, reflecting the latest nutritional science that respects both personal preferences and planetary health.

Eat Like a Girl isn't just a cookbook; it's a manifesto for living in tune with your body, which challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to health, advocating for a personalized path to wellness that respects the hormonal intricacies of the female body.
